00:00 You hear that, haters? Pouring water on people's heads for views really worked!
00:03 In amazing news, the Ice Bucket Challenge that took over the internet in 2014
00:08 actually did some good. 17 million people posted videos of themselves getting
00:12 drenched in ice. Follow me on Musical.ly. Many people criticized the challenge,
00:16 which claimed to be raising money for the ALS Association. In reality, the
00:20 challenge brought 121 million dollars to the association. The year before that,
00:24 they only received 8 million. It's an okay number, but it's no 121. Follow me
00:29 on Musical.ly. And that money went to good use. Researchers discovered a new gene
00:33 responsible for the disease. It's not a cure, but it's bringing scientists closer.
00:39 I'm sure that all these scientists have orgies. Let's look at some tweets.
00:50 Kylie Sparks tweeted, "My aunt died of ALS a few years ago. It's a cruel, cruel
00:55 disease. To discover the gene means finding a cure." Devin Faraci tweeted, "The
00:58 fact that the Ice Bucket Challenge worked has really destabilized my entire
01:02 worldview." That would only happen if Kony 2012 worked. Follow me on Musical.ly.
